High-resolution ghost image and ghost diffraction experiments are performed by using a single source of thermal-like speckle light divided by a beam splitter. Passing from the image to the diffraction result solely relies on changing the…

In this paper, we propose a theoretical scheme of ghost imaging in terms of $N$th-order correlated thermal light. We obtain the Gaussian thin lens equations in the ghost imaging protocol. We show that it is possible to produce $N-1$ ghost…

Ghost imaging allows to image an object without directly seeing this object. Origi- nally demonstrated in the spatial domain using classical or entangled-photon sources, it was recently shown that ghost imaging can be transposed into the…

We present a theoretical study of ghost imaging based on correlated beams arising from parametric down-conversion, and which uses balanced homodyne detection to measure both the signal and idler fields. We analytically show that the…

The contrast of an image can be degraded by the presence of background light and sensor noise. To overcome this degradation, quantum illumination protocols have been theorised (Science 321 (2008), Physics Review Letters 101 (2008)) that…

We offer new illumination patterns for imaging in all-digital ghost imaging (GI) systems. The digital patterns, written as computer generated holograms on spatial light modulators (SLM), are generated by the Ising model, a well-known…

The use of x-ray imaging in medicine and other research is well known. Generally, the image quality is proportional to the total flux, but high photon energy could severely damage the specimen, so how to decrease the radiation dose while…

We give a protocol for ghost imaging in a way that is always counterfactual - while imaging an object, no light interacts with that object. This extends the idea of counterfactuality beyond communication, showing how this interesting…
